For the past 30 years, Jimmy Dee Entertainment has consistently set the standard in quality, class, experience and fun. Our mission is to inspire and collaborate with our clients to produce unique and engaging events invoking emotion, excitement and energy for the newlyweds as well as their families, friends and guests.

So thankful I went with Jimmy Dee for my wedding. We just don’t have enough good things to say about them! From their App that allowed me to add and remove song options and make specific notes so anything I wanted in a very specific way was easy and clear. After that, our team took creative control and when I tell you my guests did not sit down for even a second!! Dinner was being served and they had to make an announcement for everyone to sit. So glad we went with them and they truly made our wedding the BEST NIGHT EVER!

Glastonbury, CT
  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Hamden, CT

Hi! My name is Matt and I am the owner and head DJ of Style Points DJs. I began DJing in 2016 with my friend Jerry after discovering a mutual love for electronic dance music from the likes of Zedd, Martin Garrix, and Hardwell. I've found an overwhelming passion in DJing and event coordinating, so much so that I've worked tirelessly to do it full-time since 2021. I believe that the DJ is the cornerstone of wedding vendors and I do everything in my power to make sure that I can make the vision of your wedding into a reality.

DJ Matt was the absolutely one of the highlights of our wedding day! He came in clutch when our acoustic singer for ceremony cancelled last minute. He had his music ready to go when we were scrambling around trying to find a solution. The reception music was excellent and we had a packed dance floor the whole night. We even saw a bunch of people who say that they never dance at weddings filling the dance floor. Highly recommend Matt and Style Points!!

Celine and team were absolutely amazing at our wedding. We listened to their pieces on social media after our DJ referred them. Celine is wonderful at communicating, great at following up and will send gentle reminders of when to begin finalizing music choices. She is also terrific at taking your vision and suggesting pieces to listen to! I would highly recommend hiring Celine and team (we used the Quartet) for any given event! No event is too small for live music with this team.

Kate and her fellow musician were wonderful from start to finish. She was communicative, easy to work with, and provided us with a beautiful cello/violin duo for our wedding ceremony. The selection of music was extensive, and she even allowed us to pick a song of our choice, which she arranged and played for our special day. She was in touch with our officiant, photographer, and wedding coordinator ahead of time, so we didn't have to worry about logistics, and she was on-time and just completely lovely the day-of. We didn't stress at all and were so appreciative of her excellent work. Highly recommend O'Brien Strings!

I think beauty is important. Beauty is what inspires us to do something higher than our everyday. A wedding day should be full of beauty. Whether that means beautiful sounds or a beautiful place setting. In my opinion, the two are inextricably linked. Beauty is what I strive to create for each bride and groom.

Danielle and her amazing team at Divina Strings are a high energy and exciting group of performers that are a great fit for upscale clients looking for boutique wedding and event musicians. Highly recommend.

Nardella’s Music

5.0

Branford, CT
  • DJ
  • Starts at $850

At Nardella’s Music we understand that all clients deserve the absolute best in Service and Equipment at a reasonable price. With over 25 years of experience, over 200 hires on similar online platforms and more than 100 5 star reviews Dennis Nardella is rated a “Top Pro” for a reason. Every Client is different. I spend personal time meeting with each and every client working on a personal level to understand their needs and requests so their event is "their" event. I will put in the time that is needed to be certain your event is a success.

Dennis is the best DJ ever!!! My husband and I were absolutely blown away by how fantastic he was for our wedding. He put on a SHOW! There was a fog machine, up lights, and an entire light show, and microphones to sing along that kept everyone on the dance floor all night long! Dennis has an awesome personality and is a blast to work with. On the wedding day he did just the right amount of talking and was able to really feel the vibe of the night and play music accordingly. So many people commented that they thought I had given him the playlist because he matched the type of music we wanted so perfectly! Dennis played a great combination of music that had guests of all ages enjoying the wedding and saying it was the most fun wedding they’ve ever been to. He was also able to get almost everyone at the wedding into a conga line! He was extremely flexible and more than willing to do help us coordinate many unique items throughout the night (shoe game, husband singing live, “father daughter dance mash up, table dash, reverse anniversary dance). We had a difficult and unique timeline compared to most weddings due to it being a backyard wedding with a not so strict timeline, and two ceremonies (an American ceremony and a Moroccan ceremony) each requiring their own music. Throughout the day, Dennis was flexible and coordinated seamlessly with our other vendors to adjust the timeline when we were running late and made sure it worked for everyone. He knew the best times to do all of the events at the reception and we were easily able to extend him for an hour on the day of the wedding when we realized everyone was having such a good time and we didn’t want the party to end! Dennis was extremely helpful throughout the whole planning process by getting an idea of the type of music we liked and then offering suggestions he thought we would like. He was spot on and made the whole process of selecting music for the whole wedding (so many more songs than I would have anticipated) so easy and ensured we loved what we picked, giving us time to make decisions without us feeling rushed, while also making sure we were getting him the information he needed when he needed it. He always gave his advice but let us have the final say. Dennis went above and beyond the responsibilities of a DJ and dived in to help make our wedding special. When my husband wanted to have me walk down the aisle to a recording of him singing and playing the guitar, Dennis offered his own studio to him to record. My husband was not able to take him up on the offer since we live out of state, but when he sent Dennis a phone recording, without asking, Dennis took it upon himself to do a bit of editing to make the song even more beautiful. When my husband told Dennis he wanted to play the guitar and sing live at the reception, Dennis brought his own music stand and set up everything. He made a fun mashup of songs I requested for my father daughter dance. Instead of table numbers, we named out tables different Moroccan city names. Dennis looked up fun facts about each city that he announced as guests went to the buffet to get their food. Dennis puts his heart and soul into each wedding and it truly shows. Dennis – we truly can’t thank you enough for giving us and our guests such an amazing and fun night. From us to my grandparents to my college friends to my husband’s Moroccan family members who came from Morocco to attend, you gave everyone a night they will never forget!

The most important thing for our wedding was to have a great live band and Bills Toupee came highly recommended and was the perfect choice! They had everyone out on the dance floor(s) from the minute they started playing through their rousing rendition of “Shout” to cap the night. We worked with Scott to book the band and share our music interests and everything with scheduling the band and the prep of what we wanted was extremely smooth and fun. Scott listened to what we wanted, and he and the band delivered an Awesome experience that will not be forgotten. We had the wedding in our backyard and the flexibility of Scott and the band to maneuver and set up the perfect staging area was greatly appreciated. They even moved a giant wood pile without asking for help. Our friends and family are still sending messages to us about how much fun they had. They truly allowed us to kick back and enjoy a phenomenal show. We can’t say thank you enough and are already planning our next backyard event and we know who will perform!! ---Thank you, Ned & Melissa Aug 14, 2021

Our male singer did an incredible rendition of our first dance song exactly as we requested and it blew us away!!! The MC was also incredible and nailed all of the formalities. My only complaint is that we did not get a copy of our set list at the end of the night!

I worked with DJ double E at a wedding last October. It was a very small intimate wedding. The crowd was older and didn’t feel much like dancing. The DJ crew still gave it their all to get the crowd going. They were out on the dance floor with the 5 people willing to dance showing them dance moves to songs the crowd didn’t know. They were extremely personable and professional. Their equipment had beautiful covers so that they looked nice and blended right in with the wedding decor, rather than staring at poles and wires. Would absolutely recommend to future weddings and events.

They were also very helpful with recommendations based on extensive experience, and even allowed the bride's sister to play their keyboard for the ceremony, which was an over-and-above request they did not have to agree to. Overall can't recommend this group enough!

There is an art to entertaining. To create a memorable wedding celebration, you need quality entertainment. Most events I do start with some common elements: guests, music and the client’s desire for the event to be successful. It’s the inspiration in the execution and preparation before the event that distinguishes me from the ordinary. While others may do events by number, I make each event an original, a unique reflection of my client…you! I take inspiration from your dreams and desires. I do not ask you to follow someone else’s format because I will thrive in yours.

Butch was simply phenomenal! He was able to keep our small wedding so high energy it felt like we had a room full of a hundred people! He was so flexible with us as we had so many changes throughout the planning process. He was willing to work with us regardless of what our contract stated, he just wanted us to have the best wedding we could. He was so helpful in planning meetings and his tool was easy and fun for us to use! We asked him last minute to do all the ceremony music and he was even willing to jump in the day of to marry us when we thought we were without an officiant. All of our guests raved about him! We can't say enough about Butch except to HIRE HIM! :)

Marcus took the time to get to know us and he easily understood what we were looking for. He suggested a few songs for the mom and son dance, and the song we ended choosing off the list was perfect. The worksheet and meetings were incredibly thorough and helpful in guiding us through the planning. We even had the honor of meeting his cat over zoom! When we discovered a small issue during the planning process completely unrelated to the music, Marcus offered to help even though it was above and beyond what he signed up for. He is truly kind. Our guests had an absolute blast on the dance floor on the day of the wedding. Lastly, we also rented our photobooth from him and we love the photos that we got to look at right after.

If you want to get guests on the dance floor, book DJ Xenia for your next event! She was our wedding DJ, and she was absolutely phenomenal. She's a total pro at weddings, and really helped us coordinate all the music we love into our ceremony. And then once it was time to party, she played an amazing mix based on conversations we've had with her about our music taste and the vibe we wanted to set. She is also extremely organized, and overall just a joy to work with. If we ever have another large party, we're definitely hiring her again!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you are considering using Ultimate Entertainment for your wedding, book them RIGHT NOW! My husband and I went to a wedding (before we were even engaged) and I said if we got married, this would be my first phone call. Sure enough, as soon as we had our venue booked we called Rob. Rob doesn’t just come to your wedding, Rob IS your wedding. I can’t count how many people said they’ve never seen such a fun wedding DJ team or how many people said they never dance at weddings, but they got up & danced at ours. Rob’s energy set the vibe not only for the whole reception, but for the entire planning process. We had a Christmas themed wedding (12/22) and Rob took that idea and ran with it. It felt like one big Christmas party and we couldn’t have been happier. His team also made the whole planning process so easy—they answered emails quickly, and they were always all so friendly. We also used them for our photo booth and it was great—we ended up forgetting to put out our guest book, so the photo booth scrapbook was a lifesaver. We can’t say enough good things about UE—if you need a team for your event, look no further, you won’t find better.

Hiring DJ KDOT LIM (Kevin) was the best decision we made when going through the process of hiring our vendors. I am very particular about my music and it was a TOP priority that we worked with someone that understood our vibe, vision, and overall music selection for our big day. He was such a pro and knew what to ask for our venue's AV set up, music prep, and even attending rehearsal which was totally optional for him to join. Kevin understood everything from the timing of the music for the processional, and most importantly my big entrance down the aisle. When it was time to party, he spun all the tunes I requested and also went above and beyond to DJ the most FUN set ever!!! One of my highlights from the day was my husband and I dancing to one of our favorite house tracks that I didn't even request. He just had the perfect song queued up for the right time!!! I can't imagine what the day would have been without him. He had all our guests up and dancing including my parents and uncles and aunties. The vibes were immaculate!!!

I still get compliments for how good my wedding DJ was. I host events and parties often, I already know who to have on speed dial. They know how to set the mood and direct it throughout an event. I asked some vague requests, like "no typical white people wedding music" (e.g., Don't Stop Believin', etc.) and had drastically different genres for dinner and party portions. THEY UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT and beyond. There were actually several songs I wish I knew because I loved them so much but never heard them before, yet they were really catchy and quite the vibe.

Words can’t express how much we loved working with Ana & Jimmy and the entire Amp DJ Band Hybrid. My husband really wanted a band while I really wanted a DJ, Amp DJ band was the perfect mix. We found Ana & Jimmy immediately and were able to schedule a meeting with them the next day. We knew right away that they were right for us. They were extremely attentive and outgoing from the start. They answered all out of questions and addressed concerns we had. We booked them immediately because we didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity to work with them. We met with them several times through our 6 month planning process. They responded immediately to any questions that popped up along the way and even allowed us to make a last minute change the night before. They well exceeded our musical playlist, taking the songs we requested and tailoring the rest of the music to fit the vibe. There was a perfect mix of live songs and an awesome dj set. The amount of compliments my husband & I received about the band far exceeded anything we expected. All of our guests LOVED them (of course as did we). So many people reached out that night or the next day to say how impressed they were with Ana, Jimmy & the whole band. We also had an acoustic guitar player at our cocktail hour which was amazing. If you’re debating getting a band for your wedding because your heart is set on a DJ, seriously look no further than Amp DJ Band hybrid. You will not be disappointed. I want to have another event just to work with them again!

We never took a break because the music and vibe was great. I still get comments and compliments from friends and family on how great our DJ was. As a Wedding Planner and Designer we do a lot of weddings with him and it’s always a professional, fun, organized, energetic experience. He is part of our highly vetted preferred vendor list that we share with our clients. Leading to the event, he takes the time to get to know his clients, and pays close attention to the vibe that they want for their wedding/event. On the day of he is always ON TIME, his set up is usually done early enough so when guest arrives he’s ready to go. And when it is time for him to DJ he brings the ENERGY!!

The morning of the wedding I had let Luis know that I had forgotten our gift for our Anniversary Dance and that we could just bypass that for our event, but he insisted on helping by picking up a beautiful bouquet for the couple on his way to our event! The dance turned out so perfect with this little addition.

East Coast is one big family and we count band members, loyal fans and now near two thousand couples to be part of that crew! We hope that such a rare track record (and perfect reviews!) reflects well on our commitment to quality, consistency and cost effectiveness. Cheers to another year!
